Universal Studios Japan to offer locals discounted park tickets
Last Updated on April 11, 2025
Universal Studios Japan has announced a new discounted ticket for locals in the region where the park is located.
The “Kansai NO LIMIT! Pass” will provide reduced prices on 1-day studio passes specifically for residents of the Kansai region.
The pass will launch at a time when there is significant excitement around new attractions coming to USJ, with collaborations with popular anime series The Apothecary Diaries, Spy x Family and One Piece set to open at the park throughout 2025.
Set to go on sale in late April, the new pass will allow local residents to access the park for less than out of town visitors.
The level of discount on offer varies based on age, with teenage residents of Kansai due to receive the largest discount.
To qualify for the discount, you’ll need to be a resident of one of the following Prefectures: Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, Nara, Shiga, or Wakayama.
Adult individuals, defined as those aged 18 years and older, will be eligible to receive a discount of 1,000 Japanese yen on the standard price of a 1-day studio pass.
Teenagers, classified as individuals between the ages of 12 and 17 years old, will be entitled to a more substantial discount of 2,000 Japanese yen on the same 1-day studio pass.
For children, defined as those between the ages of 4 and 11 years old, a discount of 500 Japanese yen will be applied to the cost of a 1-day studio pass.
Eligible individuals can make purchases of the “Kansai NO LIMIT! Pass” exclusively through the official Universal Studios Japan website.
To purchase the exclusive pass, residents will need to verify their eligibility by uploading a copy a valid public certificate that can confirm both the purchaser’s current residential address and their age whilst going through the ticket purchasing process.
Purchases must be completed at least two days prior to the intended date of park admission, a measure that is likely to allow USJ staff time to ensure all discounted pass applications are valid.
The specific details and price reductions associated with the region exclusive “Kansai NO LIMIT! Pass” are as follows:
- For Adults (18 years old and over): The standard price of 8,600 Japanese yen (including tax) will be reduced to 7,600 Japanese yen.
- For Juniors (12-17 years old): The standard price of 8,600 Japanese yen (including tax) will be reduced to 6,600 Japanese yen.
- For Children (4-11 years old): The standard price of 5,600 Japanese yen (including tax) will be reduced to 5,100 Japanese yen.
Sales of the “Kansai NO LIMIT! Pass” will begin on Friday, April 25th, at noon (Japan Standard Time), with the initial wave of Kansai resident exclusive passes being sold for visits on or after 18th June 2025.
Tickets should be purchased through the official USJ website as due to the verification process involved the discounted tickets will not be available through 3rd party ticket sellers.
No end date for the sale of passes has been announced and it’s currently unclear whether this pass will become a permanent fixture or whether it will be limited to a specific timeframe.
